As a nation, we have been trained by our political leaders and capitalist elites to direct our outrage downwards.
The recent budget announcement proved this earlier this month when once again the nation balked at the cost of welfare payments as the largest piece of the federal budget pie.
We grumble about "taxpayer dollars" being spent to keep our most vulnerable Australians alive, sheltered, and marginally afloat. We have been conditioned to believe that the problem with our social safety net is the people who need it.
